Bhoomi

Bhoomi is an Indian restaurant at Orchard Towers, run by chef Milind Sovani. Its name means "earth" in Hindi. The menu travels across India, from the Konkan coast to the street food of Indore.

Chef Milind is best known in Singapore for his years at The Song of India. He opened Bhoomi in July 2024, and the restaurant's own site says he has been named Asian Chef of the Year three times. The MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2026 lists Bhoomi as a Selected restaurant.

What to order

Many dishes come with a short note on where they come from, which the menu calls "Bhoomipedia". It is a handy guide if Indian food is new to you. Dishes worth trying include:

• Indori beetroot tikki: a beetroot patty with spiced sweetcorn, inspired by the Sarafa night market in Indore. The MICHELIN Guide names it the signature dish.
• Kulthachey kalan: a horse gram soup based on the chef's grandmother's recipe from the Konkan coast.
• From the charcoal grill: tandoori lamb chops, Lucknowi kebabs and the "ultimate" chicken tikka.
• Curries: butter chicken cooked in a claypot over charcoal, Mangalorean fish curry and Goan mutton vindaloo.
• To finish: gud ki rasmalai, a take on the Bengali milk sweet.

Breads and biryani also feature, including an Awadhi chicken dum biryani slow-cooked in a clay pot. The menu suits most diets. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes are marked, and there is a gluten-free amaranth roti.

The setting

The restaurant spreads over two levels. The look is relaxed and boho, with heavy wooden tables, rattan lights and chandeliers shaped like cartwheels. Large windows let in plenty of daylight at lunch, while the lighting turns softer in the evening.

The first floor has the main dining room and a private room for up to 10 guests. Upstairs, a larger space holds up to 40 people for parties and business meals. Look out for the antique wooden sedan chair on the second floor.
